Andrew Breitbart, R.I.P.

Obama's 162nd week.

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list. The full archive is at the site.

You forgot one, brother:

“Obama’s ‘Dead Pool’

Deaths connected to the Obama White House”

http://nachumlist.com/deadpool.htm

[Nachum]

I have been hesitating on Andrew Breitbart. It has sorely tempted me to put his name on that page, but I would like a little more information.

But maybe you are right. Even if we cannot connect the dots, it is suspicious.

[combat_boots]

I particularly like the little mentioned factoid of the jogger who passed AB a few minutes before he fell.

[Nachum]

I agree. It is very convenient. It saddens me, but it is convenient isn't it.

The left hates those that gets in their face.

Beck’s transformers have blown today. He is off air at the moment.
